through the years my grandma has always been pretty sharp. she has always been very stubborn and hates it when shes wrong. but lately, for the past couple months, i have noticed a change in her behavior. she has always been the nice one while my grandpa was the grumpy one, but lately she has been acting out for every little thing! she has been very….. touchy i guess. she gets mad super easily and to her nothing is ever her fault. when shes wrong, she gets mad, when something is missing, she blames others and gets mad. today we were planing a meal for a family get together for about 25 people. i had found some snacks in the freezer that i thought we could use for the party. obviously there weren’t enough, but we could still use them. my grandpa told my grandma, "i don’t think there’s enough." and my grandma flipped. she slammed the snacks on the table and said, "fine! we wont use them. GOD!" then she tried to laugh her way out of it a few minutes later. little incidents like this one have happened almost everyday for a couple months. she never calls when she knows she will be home late. sometimes she will visit a patient (shes an IV nurse) and she will be gone for hours! no one knows where she is! she will come home around 11:00 pm and say she just went shopping.. i guess she could be stressed since we moved in with her last year…. but i don’t think so because we have helped her quite a bit. am i over reacting? could it just be the fact that shes stressed? she really worries me! i love my grandma so much! she has always been there for me and now she has been very difficult! especially to my grandpa! please help! my grandma means the world to me!

My baby is 2 months old. I’ve been looking for a part time job. I’ve even been lucky enough to find some for only a few hours a day a few days of the week. Even with that, I still feel like I’m not ready to leave my baby in the care of someone else. I have a college certificate to do office work, and it seems like most of those jobs are during the day. I’d rather try to find something to do on the weekends or maybe in the evenings, and I could leave my baby with my husband. But I’m breastfeeding my baby, and she won’t even take a bottle. I guess I could work with her on that though…And I can’t lv her. when someone else is holding her, she will look around for me, and when she finds me, she stares at me like "mommy get me please." She even does this when she’s with my husband and will cry sometimes if I leave the room. I just love my baby so much. I had a talk with my good friend about it, and she told me that maybe I should try to find a job where I can bring my baby along. She was saying about being a caregiver, or maybe babysitting. But I really don’t have any experience with caregiving, and the only experience I have is with my baby. But she suggested that I try anyway, and that God would bless me becaue I’m thinking of my baby. Should I try?? We went over my expenses together, and I really don’t need a lot. Please give me any ideas or suggestions. I don’t know when I will be able to leave my baby to tell the truth.
i never thought I’d be this way, but when I had my baby everything changed.

Hi to all: I am an asian lady, undergrad. of BUSINESS admin. course; and graduate of caregiving course (vocational 6 mos) and now working as call center agent. I have aussie bf for 6 yrs now. I am planning to see him in Darwin 2011, he will sponsor me. We already have little idea about sub-class visa. Now my question is since he is a professor there, can he get me a student visa instead? I am actually planning to enroll there, so at least I will b given opportunity to work there in Darwin. What visa shld he get for me, so at least I can stay there longer, possible school, or possible work?. What type of visa; and how much; and how long will it take. I hope to hear any ideas based on your Xperience so me and my bf can start our 1st move. Thank you for reading my questions. God Bless U.

I’m dealing with two elderly family members who are both in poor health. Neither person has a good quality of life and their outcome. if they get better will not be a good one. Both need round the clock care. One is my father, with alzheimers who is a wandering risk. His health is fragile as well and he lives in an alzheimer’s care nursing unit.

In the case of my husband’s grandma, she has breathing problems and is in the hospital right now. She will come home to a family who loves and cares for her 24/7.

When they are at that situation in their health, should we pray for their healing, or pray that God will take them home?

How would you want to be prayed for in this situation?

Thank you for your counsel.

I am very good in caregiving(seniors) and have lots of caregiving experience. Is there anyway I can do inorder to become an independent or let’s say self-employed caregiver without being employed by home care agencies? Can I get a license or permit to do that? And if I can a license, how much does it costs. I appreciate very much your answers. May God bless you.

My husband is in the very early stages. He knows it and it bothers him terribly. His mother and 3 aunts died from this disease.

My husband brings in all the money. Military retirement, service connected disability VA benefits and social security. We were in a bad auto accident and I am unemployable at 46.

He is only 67. He insists on managing the money and even though he makes an adequate income for our family of 4, we are always overdrawn and unable to meet our financial responsibilities.

If I managed our income we could live within our means. He always says "MY money, MY money"

Any ideas how I can gain control of our family finances, before it is too late?

Our home will be paid for in 4 years with appropriate financial planning.

God Bless you ALL! You all are wonderful!

Everyday I see wild deaths like a tree snapping in half for no reason and killing people, are these acts of Satan?

I never hear anyone being cured of Alzheimer’s disease or an amputee, so why does Satan perform more miracles than God?
